The Mural Room
Sports massage and focused bodywork
You might be training, returning to activity after an injury, working a physical job, or living with a persistent ache. You do not need to be an athlete to come in.
Shoulder pain and repetitive strain
Tell Moe which movements feel difficult and what your work, exercise, or daily routine asks of your shoulders. Sessions can focus on the shoulder area and surrounding neck, upper-back, and chest muscles, with your consent.
Chronic neck and back pain
Persistent discomfort deserves time and attention. Moe combines hands-on bodywork with gentle movement, adapting the pressure and focus to how you feel that day. Massage may offer short-term relief; it does not replace assessment or care for an injury.
A session shaped around you
You can ask for less pressure, a different approach, a pause, or a stop at any point. For a recent injury, new or worsening pain, or recovery after surgery, check with your treating clinician about whether massage is appropriate.

Slow work. Attentive touch.
My approach brings together deep tissue massage, gentle lymphatic techniques, and somatic awareness—the practice of noticing sensation, breath, and movement. Pressure is only one part of the work. Presence matters just as much.
Every session begins with listening: to what you tell me, how you breathe, and how your body responds to touch. I work with muscles and fascia, the connective tissue that supports and surrounds them, adapting the pace and pressure as we go.
Using slow, deliberate strokes, I follow your body’s rhythms and make room for ease and movement. Some clients describe the experience as physical and emotional at once—a chance to feel more connected to themselves. When I speak of restoring energetic flow, I mean that felt sense of openness and connection.
You never have to explain your grief, stress, or life story to receive care. This work is personal, attentive, and shaped around your comfort, with room to pause or change direction.
Whether you’re navigating the demands of sport, persistent tension, stress, or heartbreak, Massage by Moe meets you where you are. If you’re recovering from surgery, we’ll discuss your care team’s guidance before bodywork.
